In this chapter the dispute finally takes the form of a ritually staged duel. Bhishma accepts Rama's challenge not as a personal quarrel but as a kshatriya's duty: with blessings, a white chariot, weapons, and a public departure for Kurukshetra. The color white marks that he goes into battle not out of base fury but as one who holds himself true to his vow. Yet Ganga's appearance reveals the tragic side of dharma: a mother sees that two great vows are leading to ruin, and she tries to stop the fight. Neither Rama nor Bhishma can now yield without betraying his own understanding of truth.
